i was reading of this strategy in an old issue of cardplayer. its about how to maximise your chances of winning, if you are a complete rookie and playing against the pros. its the worst strategy i have ever read of.

every time you get any semi decent cards, anything above K 9 o, just push all in. its really effective early in the tournament.

You wait one or two blind levels so there is at least a decent amount in the blinds before you start playing this way.

The theory is that if you are playing against a pro you will be outmatched in post flop play. Going all-in allows you to see all 5 cards every time so you can't get bluffed out of a winning hand. This does not work against a table of complete average players because you will get called too many times and eventually get run over. A pro will try to use his skill and abilities to milk you slowly.

Most pro players will play very tight early and will not call any all-in except with AA or KK so you can push them off pots to help build up a chip stack. They will want to play a hand out and let the skill play out and not just who gets lucky on a coin flip.
